Going blind in my old age. EC3 connector I think, check this; http://www.rcplanet.com/Venom_Universal_Battery_Plug_System_p/vnr1645.htm?codesf=4012554489&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Shopping-feed&utm_term=Venom+Universal+Battery+Plug+System+VNR1645&utm_source=googleShopping%28via+Shopping+Feed%29

Sorry. Instead of bananas at the charger I meant to say female deans.

Hi Nick! Welcome to the forum. That connector is called an HXT. It comes in both 4mm and 6mm. I'm sure yours is 4mm. You can buy a connector and solder a wire lead on and bananas to fit your charger. Since you are planning on eventually building a quad anyway you could buy a pack of male/female...

Good call

I grew up in the 60's and the only Spanish I remembered was" thank you" and that's only because it sounded like "Much Grass"........

Here is my favorite reasonably priced combo for the size quad you are building; SunnySky 2216 800kv motors. Virtually vibration free. Smooth, powerful and efficient ZTW Spider 30A opto Small ESC's. Operate up to 600hz. Run cool. Plug and play. No programming. Only 11g Castle Creations 10a UBEC...

You're so smart you piss me off......Hahahahaaaaa!! I sure am glad you're on our side

Haha! I doubt it. I like big stuff. That's why I ride a Harley instead of Vespa:cool:

What you have said about safety, privacy etc. is common sense. There are already laws in place to handle those issues. We don't need more laws and regulations for them. One regulation I might get behind is an altitude restriction when flying around known commercial/private flight paths or, of...

Unless you get into "real" quads.........:D Whew! Those dollars here and there really start to add up!!!

I'm not convinced, at this point, that they are helping the multirotor community. From what I've seen and read they appear to be at odds with hobbyists. At least as far as the response on this forum shows

For you AMA members checkout the oct. 2015 "Presidents Perspective" on page 6 of Model Aviation. I'd send a link but for some reason I can't bring it up. In a nutshell it appears they are throwing us under the bus. They initiated the contact with the FAA. Instead of reaching out to the community...

Well, if you like tinkering then this hobby(disease?) is right up your alley. I build, take apart and change, and build again. I spend more time fiddling and modifying than I do crashing! I mean flying!! :p

Glad you found the problem. Good thinking! That's a good example of why not to bottom feed. Check these motors out; http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__66423__Multistar_V2_2206_2150KV_Motor_The_34_Baby_Beast_34_V2_.html A lot of the members use them and seem happy. Here is my favorite...

Not sure what a vecro is......... Here is two motor ESC combos to consider. The first is a very good upgrade. A cut above just "good". The second is simply the very best currently available. Nothing else I've come across matches their quality and performance (or high price). I have a set of...

Good info on a quick way to check COG. Noob stated earlier that he checked the props

I find Amazon Prime to be competitive enough that I use them a fair amount. It's an American company and I get stuff fast. I always want everything NOW. I bought a special X5c1 package from them. It came in a slick aluminum case that is going to be perfect for my new ground station...

If it is an ESC problem then check your Tx settings first, since that's the easiest. Next use your programming card to make sure all the ESC's are set up the same. Then if your FCB has a usb port plug in and check to make sure the settings match for all 4 ESC's, or if it's a KK, scroll thru the...

Hahaha!! I admit that these are fun little buggers. Because weight , for example, is so critical I find myself re-thinking and re-designing my "real" quads. When you graduate, Skybird, you will have a solid base learned while playing with "toys".

What you are bringing up here is a concern to all of us and the Mods and many members have been discussing it for several days now. It is being discussed on a thread started by ringalong. " U.S. Will Require Drones to be Registered". Check it out and I believe you will find a lot of your...
